When I went to see bands like Queen and Springsteen in the late 1970's I remember reflecting how good it sounded. Never happens today, it's better to insert the earplugs right before they start...

Neither is Ferrari. Doesn't seem to hurt them.

A year or so a fighter aircraft accidently went hypersonic just over where I live. The experience was not so much the sound of it as the feeling of a change in the air preasure. It was quite awsome!...

Infinity Servo Static used, as the name implies, servo controled bass and electrostatic mid/hi. I think it came out in the late 1960's.

That was the first JBL's I ever heard, ca 1975! There had opened a "proper" HiFi store in my little hometown of Västervik in Sweden. They had a pair of L300's.

Been my dream since then...

Yesterday, while leafing through an old heap of HiFi mags I stumbled on something called Yamaha F1 or FX-1 from 1978 that was pretty much a rip off of L300/4333. They where black, like NS1000, but...

In those "good old days" the Swedish pro importer even sold a kit, "Kit 65 big" that where just that, an L65 with a 15" woofer.

I got one just two days ago. So far I've only done some manual tinkering in the GEQ based on earlier in room measurements. Seems to do what I want it to do!

You are of course right. But it actually starts with the turntable, a better one sounds better!

I record from my Linn LP12, without any sound from the speakers to avoid feedback, to an Edirol R1...

Nice ones, Mats!

Just as a remark. The other day I happened to experience when a SAAB fighter aircraft accidently went supersonic and produced a sonic boom. It wasn't just extremely loud to the ears, you really felt...

Probably not the most boring job one can have, designing loudspeakers at JBL... Thanks for the 4331's!

Very nice ones!

I recently bought a pair of 4331B's here in Sweden that is in very good shape (they have been privately owned), but not quite as good as your L300's!

Agree on the grilles,...

I have just done an upgrade from L65A's to 4331B (4333 without the 2405 tweeter). Some notes:

The bass from the 4333 is clearly better in every respect, timing, transient response, dynamics and,...

I only use diesels on mine, I haven't seen any smoke unit for those...

According to a guy on a danish forum ( http://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=660&PN=0&TPN=1 ) who seem to know what he is talking about, 250TI-LE and 250TI-CC where "tuned" in Denmark for...

I have my L65's place in roughly the same way, by that I mean along two different walls. It's nothing I have come with myself, it was someone on the web who recomended it and had some technical...

Nice to hear that Jimis work is still held in regard!

The words spoken before she starts to play sounds just like the intro to Tubes first record, if you remeber that one. Always thought it was...

I thought I was the only one who know about the Frigid Pink version.

A pal of my always sworned by this version of House. It was in 1974 and I haven't heard it since...

I to has the somewhat unlikely combination of JBL and LS3/5a speakers.

My Chartwell LS3/5a's was the first HiFi speakers I bought, in 1978, I was 20 then. I couldn't have guessed then that thirty...

The Swedish state radio bought severel HUNDREDS of Yamaha NS1000 M's in the late 1970's after extensive listening tests (no, I don't think JBL where in the evaluation. Prejudice?). They where used,...

In 1976 a "proper" HiFi shop was opened in my little hometown Västervik (of Abba Björn fame) in Sweden. They had a pair of L300's that we teenage boys drooled over...

The shop is long gone but I...

I have to agree with Bob here. In my book pop/rock peaked, in sound quality and musical quality, around 1970. Of course there has allways been highly commercial, sell this week, hope they have...

I think the bextrene coned B110/B210 series came out in around 1967, so I would say, yes, they are collectibles.
